The Duke of Gloucester Plate

Code: IPTS-29

£6.95

Inspired by the Duke of Gloucester service made about 1775 – 1778 for William Henry, Duke of Gloucester (1743 – 1805).  Probably the most lavish and important service made by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Co. Ltd. (known as Royal Worcester).

Order six or more of the same design for £6.50 each.

NB This a 2026 re-design of the old much admired Duke of Gloucester plate, whilst similar in design it is not identical with the 2025 and earlier version.  Still lovely though!

Diameter: 10 inches/25.4 cms

Description

Designed in the UK, but nowadays probably manufactured elsewhere, these beautiful “tin” (in reality steel with an over-printed design) plates are ideal for your posh or not quite so posh picnics. So whether your taste is Glyndebourne or Henley, or the local beach or park these plates make fantastic re-usable and un-breakable picnic plates that are bound to set tongues wagging. Robust yet light and washable (if in a dishwasher on a gentle programme) and when the conversation flags can even be used as a Frisbee!

Alternatively if Al Fresco dining is not your biscuit then the plates are great for finger foods or simply as decoration. Until picked up, most people would not know these are not the original porcelain plates as used in some of the great British houses of centuries ago.
